I ing II Ne .ue Druse, who sat at the break
: Last rabl fired shot into the back o! his
n,ck. Mary threw a rope over his head
and dragged him to the floor. Mrs. Druse
then fired two more shots at him. She
then called Gates in, and placing the pistol
at his head, ordered him to complete the
deed, threatening that if he refused she
would kill him. He took the revolver and
fired shot into Druse's body. Mrs. Druse
then ordered Gates to get the axe, and With
it she chopped of the dying mans head.
The only words that he spoke were: "Oh,
the kitchen stove.
The body was placed on a straw tick
and earned into the parlor. Mrs. Druse
there dismembered the body with an axe,
a razor and a sharp jack-knife. The boys
were kept busy bringing in dry shingles
with which hot fires were kindled in two
stoves. The arms were first cut of and
then the legs, which were thrown into
the stoves. The trunk was hacked and
and cut by Mrs. Druse until she was able
to get it all into the large stove. The
next Mrs. Druse and the Gates boy carried
the ashes and pieces of bones to a swamp
and concealed them. The axe and re-
volver were thrown into 4 mill pond,
where they were subsequently recovered.
Mrs. Druse was only about 40 years old
and had often quarreled with her husband
In his confession young Gates declared
that Mrs. Druse had tried TO hire him to
kill her husband Indictments were
found against both Mrs. Druse and her
daughter Mary. They were tried sepa-
rately, Mary being the first. She was con-
victed of murder in the second degree and
is now serving life sentence in the Onon-
daga Penitentiary in Syracuse. Young
Gates, from whom all the sckening de-
tails of the tragedy were first learned, was
given his liberty after the trial of the two
women.
Notwithstanding the diabolical nature
of crime, however, the natural repugnance
on the part OF many people to the idea of
hanging woman began to manifest itself
after the conviction. Petitions in commu-
tation were sent to Governor Hill by the
various women's associations of many
States, and so much pressure was brought
TO bear upon the Executive that a respite
until to-day was granted in order that the
Legislature might act upon measure
abolishing capital punishment in the case
of women. The bill was defeated last
week, and the Governor then announced
that he would not again interfere. When
the news was communicated to the con-
demned woman, she broke down for the
first time aud wept bitterly. The black
dress which was worn at the execution
she made with her own hands.

A Roof Falls In.

CLEVELAND, o., February 2s.-A terri
BILE accident occurred in the Iron ward
this morning.
At 1880 o'clock the roof of the charging

and injured eight others. Isaac Edwards
was killed and the following seriously in
jured: Martin Henderson, Mike Tuepner,
